Our light and spacious Martello and Lawns Rooms provide a beautiful setting for your civil ceremony and wedding breakfast, with high ceilings, elegant details, natural daylight and the sea as your backdrop. The neutral décor gives you the freedom to bring your own style, colours and personal touches to your day.

Whether you’re planning a DJ, live band or simply want to dance the night away with your favourite people, it’s the perfect space to continue the celebrations.

Wedding Day

A wonderful day, ceremony and reception at the Landsdowne . They were super helpful with preparation the night before, decorating the room and getting extra tables and other bits we needed. Also accommodating the cake the night before in the fridge. Friendly, professional staff. Made everything run smoothly and ensured things went to plan and how we had hoped. Highly recommended. Only downside was that we were unable to bring untouched buffet food home as it was immediately discarded.

Wonderful Venue

We had the best day ever. The Lansdowne were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Theresa was absolutely amazing and helped plan our wedding to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was very well organised. You can plan your day exactly as you wish, and they really listen to what you want from your wedding day! The food was great, the rooms are beautiful and the room i got ready in was perfect size! Especially if you have a wedding gown with a long train! Our guests were well cared for and everyone enjoyed the day! Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our day so special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
